I purchased my S550 9/07 it was a dealer demo car with 1000 miles.

After reading these fourms I brought it to the dealer for the command center update so I could watch DVDs and have the live traffic updates. I also brought them the TSB number for the telematics update.

So I got the car back today and the birds eye view works and the DVD playback works. However the traffic updates do not work I have a option on my screen for traffic updates but their is no information.

They did't charge me anything but I dont think that they updated the nav software is this the reason the traffic updates dont work. is the traffic part of the nav software or the flash update they did to the car? in my option menu I have a trafiic option but when it is selected it says that their is no traffic information.

How do I check what software version I have?

What city do you live in? I had the upgrade done as well and no info pops up for me either but it is because my city is not covered under Navteq. Most likely that is all their is to it.

Jason: When you push on Traffic, do you see on the left of the Nav screen some visual representations of actual road signs (e.g. 280, 101, US1, etc) where they are listing possible traffic problems? That is what I am showing on my updated Telematics MY07 CL600. Z356

No when i select traffic it just says no traffic information. is the traffic part of the navteq 5.0 disk or the update to the command center that the dealership did.

We had the exact same situation. My dealer did not charge me for reflashing the Comand system, and even gave me the software. However, it only added DVD playback and Bird's eye view on the system, but NOT the Traffic updates.

Then, I purchased the latest Nav DVD software BQ 646 0231 Version 5.
It only took 26 minutes to upload, and ... voila! My system now gives all the features we all want: Great resolution graphics, improved bird's eye view, DVD, and Real Time Traffic Reports! etc.

By the way, I'm selling the software $120.00 paypal only including overnight shipping in continental US.
Harman Becker Nav DVD software compatible with S550 2/06 - up
P/N BQ 646 0231 version 5.0 (latest version).

Thanks,

Does anyone know if this update also changes the steering wheel controls to cycle through the preset stations instead of scanning the frequency range?

This update allows you to cycle through the preset stations instead of scanning the frequency range.

Openwider I am trying to have my COMAND/TELEMATICS updated, but my dealer has no clue of what I am talking about. Do you still have that disk your dealer gave you for reflashing the Comand system?
